June WIpocalypse

The question of the month is actually a show and tell:
Show us your stitching space!  Where do you sit, and what is going on around you while you stitch (TV, audiobooks, etc)?
This is my space when working on a BAP, for my secondary smaller project I tend to move around a lot so no picture of that

You can see a portion of my Supernatural photos, they cover the entire room, except where the Lord of the Rings poster, and Karen Hallion Malificent/Doctor Who print is.  You may be able to tell that Critical Role is playing on screen and that is the main thing I watch when stitching my BAP.  And when I get tired of the screen I can turn my head left and see this
Seriously, this is my view.

I finished another page, granted it was a partial page, of the Fractal which is now 8 of 20 I've finished.

And this is the Baby thing I'm doing for my niece and her new daughter, well not so new now, the little one is 6 months old

As for what I watched

Critical Role - I continue my trend of watching shows that like to rip your heart out with a dull spoon and stomp on it with rusty cleats.
Talks Machina and Table Top

Pirates of the Caribean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales - I enjoyed this one a lot more than #4 it had a lot of good tie ins with the first three while still remaining fresh.

Tremors - My favorite monster movie, ever.  It’s funny, it’s smart, the characters are well done and as a bonus it has Kevin Bacon.

Twilight - Like all this that achieve super popularity in a short period of time, this gets a lot of flack now, but I enjoy it, It’s not great but it has some fun scenes and great characters it’s just too bad that the best characters are background ones.  Also the baseball scene overlooking Multnomah Falls to the music of Supermassive Black Hole is amazing.


Wonder Woman - Believe the hype, this was wonderful.




New Moon - This is, by far to me, the weakest of the series, but I do own it
because it IS a series and if I’m going to own them, then I want it all.

All Sorts of Finishes

It's been a good couple weeks for me, I had the Finishes that I showed last week and since then I finished this little Bunny from a World of Cross Stitch freebie kit

I also finished the Vimy Ridge sample from Jeannette Douglas Designs, I had so much fun stitching this one, I have never really done a traditional sample before mainly because I'm not as fond of the look, but I might have to change my mind now. Also I love working with silks.

And finally I finished page 6 of the fractal, onto page 5 which is just a partial page


As for what I watched

Critical Role, Talks Machina and Table Top

The Great British Baking Show - Finally getting back to this, I have
about 30 episodes sitting on the PVR
\

Stream of Annihilation - 24 hours of live streamed 1 shot games with a lot of the well known players, I’m still going through this awesome thing.
